Coffs Harbour trainer Brett Dodson will head south with his boom three-year-old Cool Storm to test the Toronado filly in better company at Newcastle Jockey Club's race meeting on Saturday.

Legendary Newcastle trainer Paul Perry, enjoying another successful season, will saddle up his short course specialist Curl Curl ($3.30 favourite on TAB) in The IPD Race Benchmark 64 Handicap (900m) at Newcastle on Saturday, and the ultra-consistent three-year-old appeals as the best bet of the day.

Trainer Paul Perry says the 59kg is a more significant factor than having to wait an extra week for Sky Lab’s tilt at the Listed $200,000 Lord Mayors Cup (2000m) at Randwick on Saturday.

Newcastle & Hunter Hall Of Famer Paul Perry, already with 27 winners in the first four months of the season, has a talented filly Bakerloo lining up in the final event at Saturday’s Newcastle race meeting.

Regional racing greats Paul Perry and Sue Grills are primed to continue highly productive streaks into Friday’s Muswellbrook TAB meeting.
